Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Chloroaniline (2.0 g) was dissolved in acetonitrile (20 ml), and ethyl bromoacetate (2.1 g) and potassium carbonate (2.2 g) were added to stir the mixture at 60° C. for 2 days. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite pad, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane:chloroform=2:1) to obtain the title compound (2.3 g).
